When it comes to tap dancing, music lovers naturally think of Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire. Although no longer as popular as it was in the first half of the 20th century, tap dancing still takes place in Broadway shows. The percussive form of expression with the fast rhythmic leg movements is the specialty of Viennese musician Thomas Marek, who is one of the most...
A few years later, he continued his musical studies in Rouen, before joining the French Navy at the age of 17, where he worked as a radiotelegraphist and bugler.

In 1987, back in Normandy, he started to teach himself the bass and soon afterwards joined a dance band, but also played in various rock and rai groups and started playing jazz with musicians such as Mourad BENHAMMOU, Frederic SCHMIDELY, Marc GERMAIN, Pierre TOUQUET and other regional performers.

In 1996, Bernie BONVOISIN and Norbert KRIEF chose him to join the famous French rock band TRUST.

David JACOB also crossed paths with and accompanied artists such as Geoffrey ORYEMA, Ilene BARNES and Ladell MCLIN.

In 2018, he decided to resume his musical studies and joined the Conservatoire de Cergy Pontoise as a double bass player, both classical and jazz, with Charlotte TESTU and Yves TORCHINSKY as his teachers.

He worked tirelessly, and in 2023, after obtaining his school-leaving certificates, at the end of August produced several compositions that led him into the studio to record his first four tracks. He chose to work with two long-time friends with whom he had already worked on various projects: Hakim MOLINA on drums and Nicolas NOEL on piano.
